I find it odd whenever I see something like this calling a Native American as Indian! How is it that the Aboriginals in Australia or the Maoris in New Zealand did not get any such monickers?
ReplyDeleteHi Ramana. Because when the New World was discovered, they thought they were in India. The name "Indians" has stuck ever since.
